Ingredients
- 1 medium head of broccoli florets
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup bacon crumbles
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- ½ onion chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, then sauté until the onions soften and become translucent.
- Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts, creating a smooth base.
- Add the broccoli florets and crispy bacon crumbles to the pot. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, allowing the soup to cook until the broccoli becomes tender.
- Stir occasionally, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and the flavors meld together.
- Once the broccoli is soft, ladle the soup into bowls and top with extra shredded cheddar for a rich, cheesy finish. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- For an even creamier texture, use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup before serving.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning or add a dash of cayenne for a subtle kick.
- This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days or can be frozen for later.
